Abstract
- Fermentative production of squalene in yeast as an alternative approach to extracting squalene from sharks or plants has attracted significant interest. However, squalene accumulation is limited due to its inevitable high-flux allocation toward ergosterol synthesis. In this study, we described expression control of squalene monooxygenase (Erg1p), the first-step enzyme of ergosterol synthesis from squalene, to significantly reduce squalene loss. We replaced the ERG1 promoter (P
